Polycarbonate concert ukulele, chambered back design, Blue Smiley Face Korala PUC-30 concert size ukuleles are made of acoustically accurate polycarbonate. The use of polycarbonate avoids neck problems caused by temperature variations. The chambered back design adds to the warm, defined sound, comparable with wooden ukes. Quality machine heads are mounted for accurate and stable tuning. The Korala Explore concert ukulele is tremendous value for money. It'surprising how good it plays and sounds given its brightly coloured polycarbonate body This is simply a nice sounding ukulele. The old saying that you get what you pay for is usually true, but not in this case. You'd struggle to get a concert uke that sounds as good as this for double the money. The body is made from tough polycarbonate, a robust plastic. This is brightly coloured, giving the uke some fun factor . Here, the Korala scores highly over other brightly coloured cheap ukes - which are often have very messy paintwork. Another thing of note is the moulded ABS fingerboard, with integrated frets. This again is superior to the painted wooden fingerboards commonly seen on cheap coloured ukuleles. It isn't the first uke to use fingerboards of this type - Magic Fluke ukes from the USA often feature these, and they're a lot more money than this concert uke! The advantage is the fingerboard is precision made, meaning no rough or badly laid frets, no buzz, great low action and great, accurate intonation . The Korala Explore has open geared tuners and Aquila strings. This gives very good stability of tuning, which means once the strings have settled in you'll only need small tweaks to get tuned up. The sound is very impressive over all four strings and the tone is really pleasant and certainly better than you'd expect for this money.
